Exploring Air Itam Dam as a Family

I had heard about an over-ridge crossing from Air Itam dam behind KekLokSi Temple to Balik Pulau and wanted to explore it for myself.

After I did so, I was so taken by the beauty of the dam that I had to bring the family!

Walking the well paved road around the dam was very pleasant as there was a thick canopy providing a pleasant shade.

The air was certainly fresher and felt a bit cooler than the city below.

There were also many things to look at and distract us during our walk.

Some items more menacing than others... but there was plenty of eye candy to gaze at and photograph.

A massive troupe of monkeys marched by as we returned to the parking lot.

We were quite wary and respectful of these critters as they have been known to be quite obnoxious when surprised or threatened.

Hmmm... looks like not all the wild-life stayed behind in the woods.

On the way back, our car magically wandered into our favorite cafe--Que Huong Toi for a Vietnamese Lunch.
